China has an absolutely horrific mining industry. I think something like 5000 miners are killed every year in accidents.

1. Boycott the Beijing Olympics
If China passes its ridiculous "anti-secession" law, one possible response from Taiwan worth considering is to boycott the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Just think of the media exposure this boycott will get. For the next three years, every time the Beijing Olympics are mentioned in the news, Taiwan will also be mentioned. The world will be constantly reminded that Taiwan is independent from China and has its own laws and Constitution.

It would be best if this action is based on a snap referendum to show it is the people's will, not just government policy. In the long term, it will be a negative legacy for the games that China still disregards human rights and freedom.

(Everything with the dirty filthy Red Communist Bastard Chinese Government is horrific. Did things like this happen in Iraq under Saddam?)
